    Shouldn't it be relatively easy to bypass or override that homosexualry?

      Looks better than the old blank buttons though. I don't really mind it.

      >"Blank buttons aren’t rude," wrote the owner. "This one is reminding me that I’m cheap."
      Hint: the blank buttons also did that, but more obviously.

      It's the button to sync the three different zones in the car, and the owner didn't actually get the tri-zone AC, so they probably only have a single zone. And if not getting the tri-zone AC means that you only have one zone and ducting for one zone, you can't really program it away.

        Blank buttons at least allow you to add aftermarket accessories without fricking up the interior aesthetic.

          Feel free to take out the HVAC control panel and solder the button onto an external controller.

    Manufacturer's have been doing this shit for years

    My father's previous car (a 2005 peugeot) didn't have cruise control. All you needed to do was to buy the stalk (15 EUR part online, now it's even cheaper - aliexpress will sell you one for 10) and plug it in. No soldering, cutting, wiring required. Every component of every system was already in the car already, they just the part that controlled it be it button or a stalk.

    Proves that they're israelites just trying to part you with your money. It's not any more expenisve to put options in for them since every car already has everything in it. They just want to charge you for the functionality that's already there.

      It makes sense to not make multiple versions of the car's software, and the only hardware that a basic cruise control needs is the buttons to control, so it makes sense that you can just retrofit the cruise control with buttons. E46 BMWs also had it.

      >every car already has everything in it
      But it didn't have the hardware as in the buttons.

      I had a Mazda 929 that was like this. It was a base model, they used for fleet use, all the wiring was in the car, just added switches for all the missing functions. Scooped most of those from a U-Pull-It parts yard for cheap.

        My mazda 3 had the same - all i needed to do was change the brake-pedal sensor and add controller. Went to the Mazda dealership and they jsut pressed a button on some laptop and the cruise control was on.

      But that's just someone not wanting those parts, so the factory doesn't put those bits in the car. Once it stopped making financial sense because the wiring harness was so complex that the features had to put in anyway all that stuff started to become standard.
      This is turning a $50,000 car into a gacha game to nickel and dime your customers. I can't imagine why people still buy cars from companies that do this shit.

      But the parts are already in the car

      If the heated seats are already in the BMW, and i am forced to carry them around, then why cant i use them? I own the physical object.

      I don't know if this is one of those situations, but the problem is that cars have features already installed in them physically and you have to simply pay for a software update to activate them. It's even worse when they ask for a subscription fee to use the feature. Imagine if you had to pay a subscription fee to use the engine.

    This stuff only applies to normies who have never held a wrench; wrenchlettes. Virtually any system can be retrofitted with the help of parts on eBay, pick-n-pulls, craigslist or whatever. If you don't have the programming means for newer chassis, there is some homosexual on Craigslist who programs modules as a side gig and another homosexual who will install the entire retrofit if you cannot be fricked doing it. The dealership will obviously do this for a premium but that isn't the point.

    I am not familiar with Audi's, but with BMW there are a quite a few options to retrofit or turn on/off features permanently. Newer G series...I am not sure. E and F series... all day er' day.

    Even though you PAID for the hardware already. The car makers aren't going to give you free hardware. So that means all the people who haven't paid the subscription fees will have actually subsidized those people paying the subscription fees to use that hardware. In a just world, that hardware would be installed only if the subscription fee was paid. But instead, every car has the hardware in it, but many features are turned off.

      No, it's the other way around. The morons who pay the subscription fee are subsidizing the morons who didn't pay the subscription fee, because BMW still had to pay to install nonfunctional hardware into their cuckmobiles

    I'm gonna go and say I like this idea, comma so now when you buy a used car and the previous owner was at cheapscape you basically just pay a 1000 bucks to some 3rd party shop and they unlock all the features and there's and they were never used so it's like you have brand new features in your used car So you don't have to worry about them being broken
